I know this one would be hard, but how about this:
Pressing [On] and [Vars] at the same time would launch the sprite editor if you were editing a program.  When finished editing sprites, you would return to the same spot in the program you were editing.
Sounds like fun to code.

This sounds really cool!  How about different size tools for the point on/off?  Like a 1x1, 2x2, 4x4 space by each.

I completely forgot about that. I'll definitely want to make sure that you can change the pen size for all drawing commands.

Maybe the user could set it as an animation and, after they've drawn the sprites, he could preview it?
Wait--is that already planned?

Already planned.

I'll probably end up writing this in Axe, so hooks are probably out of the question. Not to mention I know nothing about hooks in the first place. But you never know. If I figured out how hooks could work it might be possible to code the hook in assembly and just insert it into the rest of the Axe source.

One feature I'd love is to be able to move the image around, like the select tool in some image software.  I know it's possible from experience, but I'm not sure you could implement it efficiently.

i like that idea.

That sounds really hard to implement... Let's try it anyways! *Puts on list*

EDIT: I also added palette changing, as I thought about it before but it seems to have missed making the list. By palette changing I mean things like changing all dark gray pixels to light gray and changing all light gray pixels to dark gray. This could also be used to invert images.

Assuming that you're treating each pixel as an individual unit (think cellular automata), then it's actually fairly easy. You just read the screen image and write it to a known location in RAM. When you paste it again, just copy from RAM back to the screen. It's displaying the image during movement that's the tricky part

Actually, I've already implemented it in my own Sprite editor  

I still use Quigibo's BASIC Hex editor. I don't even use the one I wrote

Now if Runer decided to include Text-to-Image in his program...
